Chapter 76 Letter to Chiang Kai-shek

(December 1, 1936) Mr. Jieshi's Taijian: Since August last year, the Communist Party, the Soviet Union, and the Red Army have repeatedly asked Mr. Wang to stop the civil war and unite in the resistance against Japan.Since the announcement of the proposition, people from all walks of life across the country have responded unanimously, regardless of party affiliation.But Mr. always went his own way, and first ordered the "encirclement and suppression", so there was the battle of Zhiluo Town in Dongdong[1].This spring the Red Army crossed the Yellow River eastward, intending to go to the front line of Hebei-Chahar[2], but my husband blocked it in the Fen River valley.Because we do not want to sacrifice the national defense forces needlessly, we led our troops to the west, not looking for a way to resist Japan, and at the same time issued a declaration to promote the awakening of your husband.In the past few months, the situation in the east of Sui[3] has become more and more dangerous. Our Mr. Fang Wei will change his plan and send a large army to carry out the war of resistance.Mr. Shuyi only sent Tang Enbo's eight regiments to Sui to help them, and they talked about money for embellishment, and gathered Hu Zongnan, Guan Linzheng, Mao Bingwen, Wang Jun, He Zhuguo, Wang Yizhe, Dong Yingbin, Sun Zhen, Wan Yaohuang, Yang Huchen, Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin, Ma Bufang , Gao Guizi, Gao Shuangcheng, Li Xianzhou and other 260 regiments are so menacing that they must wipe out the Anti-Japanese Red Army and wipe out the Anti-Japanese Soviet Area.Although we ordered the Red Army to stop attacking Mr.'s troops and retreat every step of the way, we were unable to repay Mr.'s accumulated hatred.For the sake of self-defense and to preserve the anti-Japanese army and the anti-Japanese base area, we had to have the Battle of Dingbianshan Castle on November 21[4].How resentful the people of the whole country are for the Japanese attack, how enthusiastic is the assistance to the Suiyuan anti-Japanese soldiers, and Mr. is concentrating on the fratricidal civil war.However, we are well aware of the mentality of the officers and soldiers in the Northwest. We are on the battlefield, and their hearts are no different from ours.Even the powerful descendants of Mr. Wang cannot escape the fiasco of the mountain castle.Therefore, it is impossible to fight unless the army is the result, and I do not want the Chinese to fight the Chinese, and would rather hand in their guns to the ears of the Red Army.The hearts of the people and the hearts of the soldiers are so different, sir, why don’t you think about it at night? The situation in Suiyuan is getting worse day by day. Can learn from.The world is raging, for the public alone.The current plan only needs to be decided by one word from Mr., stop the civil war today, and tomorrow the Red Army and Mr.'s Northwest "communist suppression" army can immediately move from the battlefield of the civil war to the anti-Japanese front. ten times.If you change your mind with one thought and make it with one heart, you can avenge your country's revenge, protect your country, and recover your lost land. You can also be a glorious anti-Japanese hero, and your pictures will be smoked and fragrant forever. Why don't you come out here? We dare to sincerely ask you once again, sir, to make a decisive decision and allow our request to save the country, turn the enemy into a friend, and fight against Japan together. This is not only our luck, but also the only way out for the whole nation.Today's matter is to resist Japan and fall to the sun, choose one of the two.Wandering astray, destroying the country, being a slave, losing the hearts of the country's people, and being insulted for thousands of years.We sincerely don't want to see the people of future generations gather together and say that the one who perishes in China is none other than Chiang Kai-shek, but I hope that the people of future generations will regard Mr. as a hero who can correct his mistakes in time and save the country and the people.There is a saying, don’t be afraid to change your mistakes, and it is also said, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.Where to go, I hope Mr. will be familiar with it.Kou Shen was in dire straits, and his words were serious, so he immediately made a statement and waited for Mingjiao.
